Mr. Brightside ♕ Frerard

chapter seven

That night when Gerard got ready for bed, he couldn't stop smiling. And it got to a point where even Mikey and Pete noticed. Because as much as no one wanted to point it out, Gerard was just normally incapable of being happy.

Sometimes trips to the comic book store or his brother getting him coffee were some of the happiest moments Gerard could have, which to some seemed incredibly sad and pitiful. The boy just wasn't prone to smiling or laughing, which is why it came to a surprise to him that Frank had gotten him to in a matter of two encounters.

But Gerard wasn't going to question his newly found behaviour, and instead decided to get a good nights sleep, something he had also been ripped away from. Due to his overwhelming feeling of pure self hatred and anxiousness.

"Gerard, are you okay?" Mikey asked the next morning when he saw Gerard skipping around the house with a small grin.

"Yes!" Gerard chirped, sliding into the kitchen in his batman socks. He grabbed a mug and filled it with the coffee he had earlier prepared. Once the mug was full, he quickly took it off and sipped the warm drink.

The excited boy ignored the strange looks he was getting form his brother and went back to his room, to continue his previously started painting.

He plopped himself on his desk chair and went to get his phone to play some music while he worked, when he remembered the phone number previously put into his phone.

A nervous smile made its way on his lips as he typed out a small message to the other, hoping he didn't come across clingy or annoying.

Hi it's Gerard :)

It was barely two minutes when his phone dinged loudly and a reply was sent in from Frank.

Frank🖤: I've been waiting for you to text ;)

Gee🍪: well then I guess you're in luck

(A/N Gerard's name is what Frank put in for Gee's contact)

Frank🖤: well well well who's this sassy dude and what did he do with Gerard?

Gee🍪: shut up

Frank🖤: never ;)

Gee🍪: you're actually insane

Frank🖤: some say it's a good quality

Gee🍪: ... someone out there is lying to you, babe

Gerard immediately felt his cheeks heat up and he was desperately trying to delete the message in which he called Frank 'Babe'.

He probably scared him off! He was having a mental breakdown as he scrambled to delete what was in his opinion, the worst mistake of his life.

And he almost didn't notice the reply he got back.

Frank🖤: babe, huh? I thought I used all the pet names here >:^(

Gerard let out a small sigh of relief at the fact that Frank didn't seem too bothered by it.

Gee🍪: the winds have changed I suppose

Frank🖤: you sound like Pocahontas

Gee🍪: I'll take that as a compliment :)

Frank🖤: ;;;)))))

Gee🍪: you act like an actual 13 year old

Frank🖤: you love it

Gee🍪: I think if I did I'd be in jail

Frank🖤: ... you're mean

Gee🍪: nah I'm just cool

Frank🖤: who's the 13 year old now??

Gee🍪: ... shut up

Frank🖤: you sound like 13 year old me during school

Gee🍪: oh my god

Frank🖤: impressed? ;)

Gee🍪: not even in the slightest

Frank🖤: :(

Gee🍪: I mean- I love it yes you're super smart and cool

Frank🖤: :)

Gee🍪: there we go

Gerard sighed happily, content with the fact that he was talking to Frank for once without stuttering and being a shy little idiot. Even if it was just online...

And it felt good.
